THE IMPLEMENTATION OF

INCLUSIVE, EQUITY, AND QUALITY EDUCATION THROUGH HIGHER

EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS (HEIS) COLLABORATION:

A CASE STUDY OF THE VALERU PROJECT

Helmy & Isabell

UNDP

The Dakar Framework for Action (2000), stated that formal, non-formal and informal education must be fostered to respond to the diverse needs and circumstances of adults.

AROUND 70% OF AN ADULT’S LEARNING IS INFORMAL AND NOT TAKING PLACE IN EDUCATION PROGRAMMES PROVIDED

BY THE GOVERNMENT (SCHMIDT-HERTHA, 2011, P. 234).

Angka Partisipasi Kasar (APK/ Enrolment ratio) of HEIs Students in Indonesia is 33,5%.

(DGHE/ DIKTI, 2016)

THE AIM OF The VALERU project aims at making first attempts in changing the mind-set of what higher education could mean for the individual, the labour market and society in general. Validation procedures can support the democratization of education, allowing access to university for people with rather practical than academic learning experiences (VALERU, 2015a)

The credibility of validation procedures needs to be monitored through an independent system of quality assurance to maintain consistency of its standards. (Talbot, 2015, p. 152)

The target group of

8 Russian partners participated and cooperated in the VALERU project, among them the Russian Ministry of Education, universities, professional bodies and associations.A training programme was developed, which covers three aspects:1. The Context of VNIL: Changing Requirements for Knowledge in Higher Education2. The Framework for VNIL: Lifelong Learning and Validation Procedure.3. VNIL Methods: Learning Outcomes and Assessment.

THE INDONESIA QUALIFICATION FRAMEWORK (IQF/ KKNI)

is an instrument for levelling framework qualifications and competence of Indonesia's manpower. It compares, balances and integrates education and training sectors, as well as job experiences, in a scheme of competence acknowledgement for specific occupational requirement.

MULTI ENTRY AND MULTI EXIT SYSTEM

Education pathway of both formal or

non-formal education systems

Job experience pathway in the work

place based on a career ladder or

occupational levelling system

Accredited training with nationally

recognized certification system

Individual experience or self-learning ensured by an

authorized assessment system

Hopefully, a similar project of VALERU can be held in Indonesia, ASEAN, Asia –

Pacific, and all of the nations in the world. It will be very useful and helpful, especially for those who have obstacles in entering HEIs (formal education) and those who are responsible in providing the multi entry and multi exit system.
